"the new york times" -- this is all good government. but what is "the new york times"? is it a corporation? yes, it is. can "the new york times" run an editorial every day saying they don't like this party or they don't like this senator and criticize him repeatedly? why, sure they can. but can ford motor company defend its interests? can it run an ad and say, we're getting a little bit tired of federal government giving another $3 billion to general motors acceptance corporation, and we don't get any money from the federal government to help ford motor credit. this threatens our existence. this is wrong. don't vote for this person because he wants to support my competitor and has a plan to do so, and i ought to be -- i think they ought to be free to push back and defend their interest. otherwise it allows us in this insulated city the ability to aggrega
